‘We have players to win any game in the Premier League': Ruben Amorim exudes confidence after Manchester United's tight 0-1 loss to Arsenal
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said that the team can beat any other team in the Premier league after the Red Devils' tight 1-0 loss to Arsenal on Sunday. United dominated the play for most of the match, keeping players like Bukayo Saka, Viktor Gyokeres and Declan Rice uncharacteristically quiet. They, however, conceded from a corner in the 13th minute after goalie Altay Bayindir wasn't strong enough in the box, allowing Riccardo Calafiori to head home. 'We have players to win any game in the Premier League. We were more aggressive than last year. We went one against one all the game and we pressed high. We had quality with the ball,' Amorim said. The coach also had special praise for United new boys Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo who gave the team a much-needed injection of pace and creativity which was severely lacking last season. 'We did a lot things right. We were more aggressive and brave. In certain moments I think Bryan and Cunha helped a lot. We stuck to the plan even when the stadium was nervous, we continued to play the way we played and that will help us in the future,' he said. '(The fans) want that feeling again. We go to Old Trafford and we are not going to get bored. We need to win more than last season but they want to see something and feel something,' he added. Talking about the goalie's mistake when Arsenal's William Saliba backed into Bayindir, who feebly batted the ball with one hand into the path of Italian Calafiori for an easy close-range header, Amorim said United needed to match Arsenal's physicality on the corner. 'If you can watch the goal, I think (players) are allowed to do a lot of things in the corners. We need to do the same,' he said. 'But when you touch that way the goalkeeper, he needs to use his hands to catch the ball, not to push players, or he chooses to push players and let the ball past. But again, (it) is the rules. If he's allowed, we need to do the same thing,' Amorom said.

Amorim's United show grit and glimpses of change in Premier League opener vs Arsenal
It was a mixed start for Ruben Amorim's Manchester United as they fell 0-1 to Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday. Many would argue United were unlucky not to take at least a point. Unlike last season, when structure was often missing, this performance showed greater discipline, intensity, and a glimpse of the vision Amorim is trying to dictated the tempo for long spells, and while there are reasons for optimism, there is still work to be done before the club can get back to consistent winning ways. That said, watching electrifying displays elsewhere—from players like Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha—served as a stark reminder of what United fans have been missing. Their dynamic energy and attacking intent showed just how starved the previous iteration of this United side had left its Bayindir: Usually regarded as United's second-choice goalkeeper, the Turkish international looked far from convincing. Pressure comes with the role, and a starting keeper is expected to remain composed in key moments. At set pieces, especially corners, Bayindir seemed unprepared to cope with the demands of wearing the United shirt. If United are serious about building under Amorim, strengthening the goalkeeping department might need to be a priority. Diogo Dalot: The full-back has been at United for some time, but questions remain about his standout qualities. He often looks average in most areas of his game. While he made a few charging runs into the box, his decision-making in the final third was poor, lacking both precision in passing and positional awareness. Compared to Patrick Dorgu, who offers a more adventurous threat going forward, Dalot remains limited in Cunha: The Brazilian looked silky on the ball and posed a threat both on the flanks and through the middle. His versatility is a major asset for United, and he backed it up with hard work off the ball as well. Cunha ranked top for dribbles (6) and duels (20). For a debut Premier League game, Cunha showed moments of real quality, and once he develops better chemistry with his teammates, there should be much more to come. Cunha's energy and inability to go into any duel at less than full throttle is the grab-by-the-scruff-of-the-neck attitude everyone needed, even if the result told a different story. It took a spectacular save from David Raya - one down low to his left, with mere fingertips - to deny Cunha in the first half. To sum it up, Cunha's unhinged and unpredictable temperament is exactly what United need right now. Four shots and four successful dribbles deserved a Mbeumo: The Cameroonian kept Arsenal's defenders guessing, constantly probing with his runs into the box. While his influence was limited by the lack of overlapping support from United's wing-backs, his directness was still effective. It took a brilliant reflex stop from Raya to keep out an Mbeumo header in the second half - denying both attackers the goals their performances deserved. Mbeumo was a constant threat down United's right, regularly beating Calafiori and combining well with Bruno Fernandes and Cunha. If paired with someone like Amad in future lineups, his link-up play could become even more dangerous. In 90 minutes, Bryan Mbeumo touched the ball 52 times and registered two shots on target. Overall, it was a strong first Premier League outing for him in a United the time Simon Hooper blew his whistle to put Arsenal out of their misery as they clung on for a massive three points, Cunha and Mbeumo had taken nine shots between them - as many as the entire Arsenal team managed next?One of the biggest questions for fans is how Benjamin Sesko will be integrated into the team. His appearance against Arsenal was uneventful, but once fully fit and ready to start, Amorim will be expected to unlock the best of the Slovenian striker. Sesko's adaptation could prove crucial in shaping United's attacking identity this season.- EndsTrending Reel

EPL 2025 round-up: Arsenal sink Man Utd; Chelsea falter & Forest shine
Manchester United's Premier League campaign got off to a disappointing start on Sunday as Arsenal edged them 1-0 at Old Trafford with a goal that left manager Ruben Amorim seething. The decisive strike, bundled in from a corner, came amid controversy, with Amorim insisting his goalkeeper had been fouled in the build-up. What was the controversy? In the 13th minute, Declan Rice's inswinging corner caused chaos inside the six-yard box. Arsenal defender William Saliba appeared to back into United's goalkeeper Altay Bayindir, preventing him from dealing cleanly with the delivery. Bayindir's attempted punch fell tamely across goal, allowing Riccardo Calafiori to nod home from close range. Man Utd manager's analysis of foul on the keeper For Amorim, the infringement was clear. 'Players are touching the goalkeeper without even trying to go for the ball. That is not allowed,' he said afterwards. 'It feels like the rules are protecting the attacking player at all costs, and when you are blocking the keeper in this way, it makes the game harder.' ???? "I'm really proud of the players... but it's hard to lose a game like this." Ruben Amorim's post-match reaction ???? — Manchester United (@ManUtd) August 17, 2025 Fernandes: "We knew this would happen" United captain Bruno Fernandes supported his manager's frustration, recalling that the Premier League had promised referees would clamp down on obstruction at set pieces. 'In a meeting before the season, they told us referees would be stricter about these situations. But we knew they were just saying that,' Fernandes remarked. 'Altay said he felt the contact just as he went to punch the ball. But in the Premier League, they rarely give those.' Despite dominating possession in spells and creating half-chances, United's newly assembled attack — which cost nearly £200 million over the summer — failed to trouble Arsenal's defence. Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha started, while Benjamin Sesko came on as a second-half substitute, yet none could find a breakthrough. We take the positives and move on. That's the message from our skipper, @B_Fernandes8 ©️ — Manchester United (@ManUtd) August 17, 2025 Arsenal's set-piece strength proves decisive While United rued their misfortune, Arsenal celebrated another goal from a set play, an area that has become a hallmark of Mikel Arteta's tenure. The Gunners have consistently posed a threat from dead-ball situations, and Calafiori's finish underlined their efficiency. New signing Viktor Gyokeres endured a quiet debut, but Arsenal's resilience at the back ensured they began the season with three points. By overcoming one of their fiercest rivals away from home, they kept pace with title contenders Liverpool and Manchester City, both of whom recorded opening-weekend victories. United's problems remain For Manchester United, the defeat felt like a continuation of last season's troubles. Despite Amorim's appointment and a heavy outlay on attacking reinforcements, United looked short of cutting edge. Their defensive vulnerabilities at set pieces, coupled with an inability to convert chances, left supporters fearing another difficult campaign. Last season's 15th-place finish was one of the worst in the club's modern history. Although United displayed greater intensity under Amorim, their inability to turn pressure into goals highlighted the scale of the rebuild still required. Chelsea frustrated by Palace as Eze denied Elsewhere, Chelsea failed to open their league campaign with a win, drawing 0-0 against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. The European and Club World Cup winners struggled for fluency after a shortened pre-season, with stars Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer unable to replicate their form from last month's triumph in the United States. Palace thought they had taken the lead in the 13th minute when Eberechi Eze thundered a free kick into the net, but VAR intervened. Replays showed captain Marc Guehi had encroached too close to the defensive wall, pushing aside Chelsea's Moises Caicedo as the shot was taken. The infringement, though minor, rendered the goal invalid. Eze, who has been heavily linked with a move to Tottenham, may have played his final game for Palace. His performance was bright, but Chelsea's Robert Sanchez remained largely untested thereafter. Forest strike early to down Brentford Nottingham Forest made a flying start with a 3-1 win over Brentford, led by striker Chris Wood, who continued his prolific form from last season. Wood struck twice before half-time, either side of a debut goal by Dan Ndoye, giving Forest a comfortable cushion. Wood needed only five minutes to open his account, capitalising on a poor clearance to prod home from close range. Ndoye doubled the lead with a firm header in the 42nd minute, before Wood rounded the goalkeeper in stoppage time to add a third. Brentford's Igor Thiago converted a late penalty, but the London club looked toothless in attack following the sale of Bryan Mbeumo to Manchester United. The absence of first-choice striker Yoane Wissa, who has been linked with Newcastle, added to their struggles. A sombre tribute across stadiums The weekend's fixtures were played under a shadow of grief, with all matches beginning with a minute's silence in memory of Diogo Jota and Andre Silva, brothers killed in a car crash in Spain last month. Jota, a Liverpool forward, was widely admired across the league, and tributes poured in from teammates, rivals and fans. The gesture provided a poignant reminder of football's ability to unite in the face of tragedy. At Old Trafford, Stamford Bridge and the City Ground, players stood together in silence before the opening whistles, underlining the fraternity that runs deeper than rivalry. Premier League Match Day 1: The bigger picture The Premier League's opening weekend showcased the highs and lows of top-flight football — controversy at Old Trafford, frustration at Stamford Bridge, and jubilation at the City Ground. For Arsenal, the narrow win reaffirmed their title credentials, while for United, it raised familiar questions about defensive frailties and attacking chemistry. Chelsea showed signs of fatigue, while Nottingham Forest sent an early statement of intent. As the season progresses, Amorim's side will need rapid improvement to avoid repeating last year's nightmare. For now, Arsenal will savour a hard-fought win secured through set-piece mastery, even as debates over refereeing decisions linger.
